Noise Decibels of Environmentally Friendly Diesel Generators

Since diesel generators use diesel engines as power to convert diesel into electricity, they generate a great deal of noise during operation. Especially, the greater the power of the diesel generator, the louder the noise. The better the quality and workmanship of the generator set, the relatively smaller the noise. The noise of diesel generators mainly includes exhaust noise, mechanical noise, combustion noise, cooling fan and exhaust air noise, intake air noise, generator noise, and foundation vibration noise.

Ordinary diesel generator sets often produce noise that disturbs residents during operation. So, what harm can this noise cause to the human body? What is the noise level of an ordinary diesel generator set during operation? The noise values measured at different positions of the diesel generator set are different. Here, we will only discuss the average value. The average noise level at a distance of 1 meter from an ordinary diesel generator set is about 120 decibels.

According to the perception of ordinary people: 0 - 20 decibels is very quiet and almost imperceptible. 20 - 40 decibels is quiet, like a soft whisper. 40 - 60 decibels is average. Ordinary indoor conversation is 60 - 70 decibels, which is noisy and can damage nerves. 70 - 90 decibels is very noisy, and nerve cells will be damaged. 90 - 100 decibels means the noise intensifies and hearing will be impaired. 100 - 120 decibels is unbearable, and staying for one minute can cause temporary deafness. Therefore, noise has a significant impact on our lives.

Current national noise standards:

For environmental noise in residential areas: it should not exceed 50 decibels during the day and should be lower than 45 (40) decibels at night.

For the working environment: < 65 decibels.

If people live in an environment with noise above 80 decibels for a long time, it can cause irritability and hearing loss. Noise has a damaging effect on the central nervous system of humans and can induce cardiovascular diseases. When eating in a strong noise environment, the capillaries in the gastrointestinal tract will contract, the secretion of digestive juices and gastrointestinal peristalsis will weaken, and the normal blood supply will be disrupted. Strong noise can also cause abnormal pregnancy and impaired intellectual development in children. Therefore, in daily life, we should try to reduce the sources and spread of noise.

Therefore, in daily life, we should try our best to reduce the sources and spread of noise. When using diesel generators, please try to keep them away from residential areas. If it is really necessary to use them near residential areas, make sure to add noise reduction measures. You can customize container-type silent generators or choose to carry out noise reduction for the generator room and sound insulation renovation of the generator room. Try to minimize the impact of diesel generator noise on the lives of residents. Container-type silent generator sets have the advantages of beautiful appearance, reasonable structure, good sealing performance, fully enclosed cabinets, rainproof, snowproof, dustproof, the ability to work in harsh environments, good soundproof effect, and convenient lifting.
